V TllbJ BKB: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY. MAY 4, 1921. N. Receivers for Bonding Company Refused Here Plaintiff in Suit Directed By Federal Court to Present His Case to Minneapo lis Court. With the filing of a bill of com plaint against the Lion Bonding & Surety company of Omaha in fed eraj court yesterday asking that ancillary receivers be appointed for the company in Nebraska. Federal Judge J. W. Woodrough signed an order directing counsel for the plain tiff. A. II. Karatz' of Minneapolis, to present his case in district court at Minneapolis. The complaint, filed by Karatz, points out that two receivers for the Lion Bonding & Surety company al ready have been appointed to inves tigate the business of the company in Minnesota. Karatz is seeking payment of a draft for $2,100 which agents of the company presented to him in Decem ber, 1920, as insurance on the theft of his automobile. The plaintiff al leges that when the draft was pre sented to an Omaha bank payment was denied for the reason that the company had insufficient funds on deposit. The Lion Bonding & Surety com pany has been, in the hands of state insurance examiners since April 12 under order of Clarence A. Davis, at torney general of Nebraska. W. B. Young of Lincoln, insurance commissioner, is in charge of the af fairs of the company. Due to a phenomenal increase in business from annual premiums of $700,000 to more than $2,000,000 in a single year, the Lion Bonding & Surety company became embarrassed by inability to satisfy state examin ers as to its ability to take care of a large amount of claims, according to information given out by former officials of the company. A. J. Hertz and John I. Levin of Minneapolis were appointed receivers for the company in Minnesota, ac cording to the bill of complaint filed by Karatz. Townley Refuses to Meet One of Former Leaguers in Debate Beatrice. Neb., May 3. (Special Telegram.) All efforts of the American Legion for a debate be tween A.. C. Townley and William Langer at the Nonpartisan league meeting here next Saturday evening went glimmering today when E. H. Laughlin, post commander, received a message from Townley declining to meet one of his former lieutenants in a two-hour debate for a purse of $100. Townley' message reads, "Please advise Langer that I will not accept challenge for one or two isolated de bates. Misrepresentation by a press almost unanimously opposed to the league would place me at a great dis advantage. I have steadily refused td" debate Langer because I do not believe he has any honest desire to fairly and fully discuss the league, and continually makes his challenge only for the advantage that a single debate misrepresented by a press un friendly to me would give him. "If Langer is not bluffing and means business, and will agree to a series of debates covering wide ter ritory, I will take him on, not other wise. Advise me care of Lincoln office." i Jesse Johnson, state manager of the Nonpartisan league, was in the city yesterday arranging for the meeting to be held here Saturday.

Five Million Chinese Are Still In Need of Aid Month of May Most Critical Period Continued Flow of Money From America Is Necessary. With 5.000,000 starving people in North China known to be dependent on aid still to be sent from America, a special appeal, signed by Thomas W. Lamont for the American Com mittee for China Famine fund, and Robert E. Speer, as chairman of the church co-operation committee, has gone to the churches and Sunday schools of the entire country, asking their active and continued co-operation in the intensive fund raising ef fort to be made during this week, which has been designated as "China Famine Week." "More than $5,000,000 has already been sent from America to save the lives of the millions of people in the famine-stricken provinces of North China, much of this coming from the churches and Sunday schools," is the announcement con tained in the letter to Sunday school superintendents throughout the coun try. "Great Britain, Canada, Aus tralia and China herself also have given generously. "A cable just received from the China Famine Reliel committee in Tcking, on which the principal mis sionary boards are represented, ad vises, however, that, notwithstanding all which has been done, 5,000,000 men, women and children have no hope until the next harvest arrives unless the flow of money from Ameri ca can be continued and increased. Another cablegram indicates that the month of May will be the most criti cal period of all." Various Sunday school and de nominational boards have also sent out communications urging co-operation by churches and Sunday schools whose members are asked to give generously during "Famine Week" especially to the fund for the saving of so many human lives. Contributions, the letter points out, may be made through Sunday schools or churches, or may be sent direct to W.
